The earth is not a dead, mute landscape but an eloquent, living being. Sometimes it just takes a spade, a packet of seeds, and a pair of sturdy boots to realize it.

The philosopher Byung-Chul Han spent three springs, summers, autumns, and winters in his secret garden in Berlin, devoting himself to daily gardening in all weathers. For Han, gardening is a form of silent meditation, a lingering in stillness. It gives you a different sense of time. Every plant has its own time that is specific to it, and the garden is a space in which these multiple temporalities overlap and cut across one another. The longer he worked in the garden, the more respect he developed for the earth and for its enchanting beauty.

Gardening taught him what care for others means. Each organism has its own consciousness of time passing; each organism lives in its own micro-universe. Step by step, Han receded from himself and the world, moving closer and closer to an exuberant, divine nature which we are increasingly in danger of losing.

Through this rich meditation on plants, soil, gardening, and time, Han unfolds a way of relating to and tending the earth that is in sharp contrast to the brutal, incessant exploitation of our planet that we see all around us today.

Fun new way of flossing.
Color: Blue+red
My 7 year old loves it and it works really well. He’s excited about teeth brushing time again accompanied by water flosser and it can be used in the shower!

Leaks
Color: Blue+red
Water leaks out of the button you press to change out the head so we will be sending back. Other than that it would be perfect, I’m sure it’s just a fluke thing.

The most powerful water flosser I've found. 100% happy!
Color: Rose Gold
I prefer a water flosser which has the ability to shoot the water between my, very tightly spaced, teeth more powerfully than other water flossers I'd tried. Online searches seem to often say that the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser is the best and most powerful water flosser, so over time, I actually purchased that product TWICE, although I was not particularly impressed with its power when I first purchased it. At the time, I could not identify any similar product that appeared to perform any better. Well, recently a friend recommended this Burst water flosser to me so I decided to give it a try. I am SO happy to report that it IS more powerful than the Waterpic water flosser, and using it's high setting, it has helped me flush significantly more debris from within my teeth and gums than I was able to get with the Waterpic product. On top of that, I love that it is cordless and that it takes up much less space on my pedestal sink. Admittedly, since its water reservoir is smaller, I do have to fill it twice in order to very thoroughly clean all of my teeth and gums each time, but that is a non-issue for me. I'm extremely satisfied with this product!

Childhood memories 😊
Color: Black, Color: Black
I came across this device from my orthodontist. I really don't enjoy flossing, for whatever reason I've always felt like I'm going to pull out a tooth when going slightly around my teeths gumline. But this little nifty device called burst helps with that. I've always enjoy the water flossing when I was a child visiting the orthodontist and now that I'm an adult, I still feel the same way. This whatever flossing device is amazing. That being said, please read the instructions or at least watch and the video, that's a major plus for the visual learner's. The water floss is pretty powerful so be mindful. When I first used this device I dang near shot water in my eyeball. They definitely gave it the right name "Burst". I love the design of the packaging and the cute little travel bag it comes with. It's very easy to hold and the materials that this device is made out of does not feel cheap at all. It's very smooth to the touch and easy to hold. Though the the device is big,I must say it isn't heavy to hold when water flossing. I did however have a little bit of a hard time opening the area where the water goes. It's definitely a snug fit but once you pull at it enough eventually it'll open. The overall design is outstanding. They come in various colors as well. I'm definitely glad my dentist brought this to my attention after me sharing my fear of regular flossing. I definitely prefer water flossing over dental flossing however I still incorporate dental flossing for two reasons. One being dental hygiene and second being to overcome my fear. So if you share that fear with me as well this burst device is definitely a safer alternative. But do keep in my to dental floss as well for hygiene and to conquer your fears. I hope this helps Amazon folks! Happy water flossing!
